Ok, here's the deal,
Doc has me on 100mg Androgel daily(2 packets of 5 g). After researching the package insert I see that 90% of the test no ester is lost in the transdermal application and the body only absorbs the remaining 10%. That means Im only getting 10mg a day and losing the other 90mg. What a waste! Being the genius I think I am I decide to take 2 packets of gel(thats 100mg TNE USP) and mix into 2ml of usp cottonseed oil. Shake it up and to my delight the gel/oil mix turns milky white(looks just like winny), suspends completely, and passes thru a 23g pin. HOLY SHIT I think to myself, I just went from 10% test to 100%, 50mg/ml. Overnight the gel seperated from the oil but once i shook it up it suspended again. Immediately I began researching the ingredients of the gel to see if everything could be administered intramuscularly without harm. Here is what I found and here is where I need your help. Please offer scientific advice/opinion only, no "why dont you just buy some gear" type of stuff. I'm hoping for scientific answers on the safety of IM injections for the following list of ingredients. I know we've got some of the best most knowledgeable chemists/hobbyists in our community so let it roll.
Thanx GS,
ANDROGEL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS;
TESTOSTERONE USP (TNE)
ANDROGEL INACTIVE INGREDIENTS;
ETHANOL 67.0%(aka ethyl alcohol)- my research suggests it's safe for IM
PURIFIED WATER- again, my research suggests it's safe for IM
SODIUM HYDROXIDE-again, my research suggests it's safe for IM
CARBOMER 980-again, my research suggests it's safe for IM
ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE- not sure yet
